These two pieces were first monoprints on paper which I then printed on specially treated fabric. Then I added a border and machine quilted.

"Beach Combers" is a mixed media piece. I roughly cut fabric strips and spray painted my own bird stencils and machine quilted. Separately, I stenciled the larger birds on old book pages and glues them down using gel medium and added more stitching. I embellished the piece with driftwood, shells and beads.

"Celebrate Shrimp" continues my discharge series. I used my own shrimp stencil, plus some of my own painted and printed discharge fabrics. There's a printed book page as well.

I sent some time making 2 fabric covers for my Alaskan paper collection. The first book has multiple pages. The second is really just a folder of loose maps and flyers. I collected all kinds of information at all the places we visited, tore out images/info and glued them down. I planned to tear and paste nightly but that didn't happen. So I had a fun time creating my scrapbook once I got home.

All kinds of announcements. My "Diane's Doodles and Verses" has been published in "Creative Ways with Books and Journals" by Sue Bleiweiss & Terri Stegmillerhttp://twocreativestudios.com/store/BooksJournals.htm I'm tickled to say the least. Sue Bleiweiss took these images.

I added some scrapbook paper and hand painted papers to make 3 signatures and sew them to my cover.

I spaced the signatures too far apart and ended up adding to more signatures of scrapbook paper and music sheets to fill the book up. I plan to add beaded to the threads. And art journal on the inside. I'm thinking of documenting my art experiments.
